Better planning, better construction, better maintenance!
We are betting heavily on Building Information Modeling (BIM). Our goal is to produce the best possible plans & designs. We have started using ArchiCAD 20, which supports project collaboration and open exchange of information. To ensure the quality of our building information model, we use Solibri Model Viewer and Checker. With these advanced tools, our planning experience and our innovation, we ensure a fluid development of the project from start to finish.
We have already used BIM with large renovation projects, public buildings and residential planning.
